Trump just gave himself billions in tax cuts. At least the mayor is honest and forthright
Trump just gave himself billions in tax cuts. At least the mayor is honest and forthright.
I would venture to guess that he raised the salaries for future mayors who might not be quite so wealthy, in an effort to forestall corruption.
If he donates it to charity, then this is believable. ( receipts required )

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will ring in the new year with a 15 percent salary bump that adds up to more than what a minimum wage worker earns in a year.
Bill de Blasio, who takes home $225,000 a year, will begin his second term January 1, 2018, with a $33,750 raise, bringing his salary to $258,750 per year, the New York Post reports.
The mayor authorized legislation in 2016 that would give him the pay raise, which adds up to more than what a minimum wage worker in New York City makes in a year.
